One thing I recognize is that multiple GMs asked me who I would and wouldn’t like to play with from my class during this scouting process. As someone with ISFL GM experience, if you ask this question and see the same name(s) pop up over and over, those names go on your “Do Not Draft” list. I know at least one player who went undrafted that SHL GMs had suggested this was the case with.

Sure, the SHL also appears to have almost no system in place to help players that go undrafted actually find a team. The issue is, you don’t just have to get GMs to take a chance on you, but you can’t alienate the people you could end up sharing a locker room with pre-draft and expect GMs to be eager to invite that energy into their locker room.
